NOVEL SCHEME
TO Enable the Coopers TO Earn Liv-
ing Wages.


The following are the views of jealous
advocate of placing the coopers of Mime
apoliS on an equality in their dealings, and
we publish them for the consideration of
both millers and coopers: He proposes that
the coopers furnish the mill firms for two
or more years with barrels at actual cost
Of productions; that the millers appoint a
general treasurer, whose duty it would be
to collect for all the barrels sold in the city,
and to purchase all the barrel stock. the
millers to pay for the barrels any price that
would meet the cost; and should there re-
main any surplus at the end of
the term, it to revert to each mill
firm in proportion to the amount
of barrels used. The general
treasurer should pay to the treasurer of
each shop 1719 cents per barrel for all the
packages delivered to the mills the proceed
ing week, the shops rendering a weekly
statement, each being required to keep ac
count of all matters as at present and be
responsible for all stock received. Each
shop should be required to pay to the gen
7eral treasurer 500 for every cooper en-
ployed. which would make a capital of
about $50, 600, or i'll case any shop had not
as much as that in cash, allow per cent.
interest to be paid OH the deficiency, and
take So per week out of the wages of each
man, when steadily employed, until fully
paid. This member of the craft, who
is highly intelligent gentleman, thinks
that under an arrangement of this kind
the coopers could get along in perfect
harmony, and that in a few months
matters would be so regulated that
the men would have nearly steady
employment, while the millers would be
guaranteed the best of work at low cost.
He urges that the details of such plan
could be arranged very easily if both sides
showed disposition to facilitate it, and
that the results could not fail to be benefi-
@cial to all concerned. He thinks that the
mills will this year use about 1900. 600 bar
rels. which at &c per barrel would amount
to Sc, 500. OF the latter 81, 600 would prOba
bly, be required for maintaining the general
office. This leaves $4,000, which would
pay per cent. Oh the general fund. A
considerable saving could doubtless be-
made by one man having the purchase of
all stock. Such an arrangement would
perhaps raise the price OF barrels nc above
what they are now, but the millerS are at
present getting their packages below cost.

Gov. McGiIl has at last appointed COM

choice the governor has been influenced by

whose capacity fitted him for the task as
signed. In the selection of John Lamb the
governor made no mistake. Possessed of

RUN OF REAL ESTATE
The Talk of the Fridley Boom Has
Now Closed Down and the Facts
Presented.
Prospects of the Establishment of Manu-
factories at What Seems Favored
Spot.
The South End Not Affected By This,
But Booming Away on Its
Own Account.
People Who Would Like to Know If
the Motor Line Is G DING to Fifty
Eighth Street.

An earnest effort was made in Minneapo-
lis yesterday to discover just how. much
foundation there is for the rOSeate rumOrS
that have been current the past two or
three weeks regarding the greatness which
is to come to Fridley as a manufacturing
center. According to reports that have
emanated frOm-pOwhere, the air of the
whole southern part of AnOka county is
soon to be darkened with the smoke of
Fridley's furnaces. Now, there is nothing
wrong about that, if it be truth. The
farmers thereabOutS may suffer from bron-
chial affections. but Fridley furnace fires
mean prosperity and blessings for Minneap-
oils, and not factory will be built in that
enterprising suburb which will not be
warmly welcomed by all good citizens.
~
The question is, will they be built, or
will they continue to exist Oh paper? Fully
twenty-five real estate men, among them
some of the leading men of the city, con-
feSSed entire ignorance on the subject, say
ing that they had heard the talk, and it
came from good men. but they had no per-
sonal knowledge of a single factory to be
bnilt in Fridley this year. This was rather
discouraging. Ball 81 Naylor, who are
more largely Interested in the town than
any Olner one HrIll, were aSheu IL Iucy Hau
anything to give the public OH the subject.
Mr.. Ball replied: Our syndicate controls
the trackage in Fridley for half a mile on
either side of the station. 1t is our
intention to offer inducements to man
ufacturing establishments that contemplate
coming to Minneapolis that will insure
their location at Fridley. We are now in
correspondence with several firms, and l
am positive that one of them. giving en-
ployment to about $50 men, will build in
Frldley this summer. Present indications
show that othels will follow. You may
say that our town is absolutely sure of lead
ing in the manufacturing interests of the
cityo

To any one acquainted with the reputa-
ton of the firm of Ball & Naylor the above
statement is guarantee of good faith. Mr..
Ball was not willing to make public the
names of the parties he mentions, for obvious
reasons which will be readily understood
by business men. E. J. Swan bought
